Deepfake technology has moved from fringe curiosity to a global social, political and legal problem: the ability to fabricate hyper-realistic images, audio and video is now available to anyone with a smartphone. Its most prevalent and damaging use remains non-consensual sexually explicit content targeting women, yet deepfakes also fuel political disinformation, destabilise democratic processes, enable fraud and identity theft, and contribute to a post-truth climate in which the authenticity of all digital evidence becomes contestable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExamines how synthetic media challenges assumptions about privacy, image rights, evidential truth and democratic integrity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplores the impact of deepfakes on the individual dignity of both the living and the dead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalyses the structural difficulties deepfakes pose for courts, regulators and lawmakers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrings together theoretical, doctrinal and comparative insights on a fragmented regulatory landscape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree parts: Deepfakes, Imagery and Privacy (privacy and misuse of private information, deepfake pornography and human rights, constitutional protection of personal identifiers, and copyright takedowns); Deepfakes, Disinformation and Truth (trust in user-generated evidence, lessons from false advertising law, democracy and neo-republican unfreedom, and electoral integrity in India); and Deepfakes and Death (digital immortality and voice cloning of the deceased).
